False because prejudice is not the some as discrimination

This statement is <em>False</em>. According to social sciences, prejudice is a preconceived opinion towards a person, a member of a group or a whole group, and is not based on reason or real experience. Prejudice can be manifested as affective feelings towards someone, exclusively on the basis of that person's belonging to a group.

Discrimination is an unjust, harmful and prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, can be based on race, age or gender. In human social behavior, according to social sciences, discrimination involves discriminatory treatment or making a difference between a person or a group based on a different race, sex, age, etc.

The difference between prejudice and discrimination in a social sense is that prejudice is maintained in one's opinion and does not necessarily mean discriminatory treatment towards someone. Discrimination implies a discriminatory act towards someone, and usually those who do so may have an already created prejudice towards someone, which is the reason for their discriminatory action. Hence, there is a similarity between these two negative social phenomena, although they are not the same.

Answer:

The mandate of heaven was used as a justification for the ruling of a family or the switch of power to a new family

Explanation:

The mandate of heaven justified that a certain person or family was in power as God desired for them to be in this position of power. However, when power switched or there was a new ruler in power it was justified through the fact that the previous family/ruler/dynasty lost the mandate of heaven, likely through some action that they did, or some even that happened during their reign, like drought
